Documentary coming about MC Frontalot

Posted on August 31st

And the general geek-focused music world in general I suspect... but I only see Frontalot's name on there now. […]

MC Chris and Fette's Vette

Posted on August 31st

Sampy and I were looking at some photos of the MC Chris concert from PAX05 and I had to go dig up the song. Easy enough to find the MP3 on MC Chris's site, but I remembered a video ... not this one, but close enough. […]

Day 1 of PAX video up on on10.net

Posted on August 30th

Check out the first day of PAX 2006, including some footage of the first Penny Arcade Q&A session (learn about the new Wii60 console, coming to a store near you this year), some talk about women, and Tina's dirty dirty camera lens. […]

Time Pilot on Xbox Live Arcade!

Posted on August 30th

That is really all that needs to be said, yes?

Looking forward to PAX 2007!

Posted on August 28th

PAX was a blast, I went back for day 2 and spent almost all the day at the exhibition hall... tons of cool demos and people! I was able to stop at the Xbox booth and chat with Trixie (as Brian mentions here), which was great because she is one of those people that I've emailed quite a bit but ne […]

Finished Day 1 at PAX

Posted on August 26th

So I've been wanting to go to PAX since it started a couple of years ago, and every time it has come around I've been out of town... until now... and, by some interesting twist of fate, I know have a job that actually required me to attend :) So Tina, Sampy, Adam and I headed over there today, snuck […]

PAX doesn't open for about 4 more hours, but people are already waiting

Posted on August 25th

Sampy and I stopped by the main doors of PAX last night around 1am and there was already two groups of folks waiting. Some guys from Detroit were first in line, having come in by train earlier that day, and they covered the full range of video gaming interests (although no one in their group was int […]

Going to PAX?

Posted on August 24th

I'll be hanging around outside a bit tonight, to check on any folks who are that excited to be there already, and I'll be around after 2pm tomorrow... a lot of Saturday... some of Sunday... in general, I'll be there :) […]

The Habu: a Gaming mouse from Microsoft and Razer

Posted on August 23rd

Teaser sites are all the rage these days, but this one ended pretty quickly to reveal a new product from our hardware division. I don't really do much PC gaming, but I think this mouse might end up on my desk anyway... I love the blue lighting!! […]

Ok, cool plug-ins for Windows Live Writer cropping up all over

Posted on August 21st

If you are a dev, then this code formatting plug-in is probably the coolest thing out there... I'm still ranking Tim's Flickr plug-in as #1 at the moment, at least my slightly customized version that is, but if you'd like a list of several available plug-ins then this spaces entry is a good place to […]

eBay plug-in for Media Center Edition 2005

Posted on August 19th

I interviewed Christoph, the guy behind mceWeather, mcePhone and now mceAuction... while I was down in Las Vegas for the eBay Developer Conference (ages ago) and I have finally managed to post the video up to on10.net. Enjoy :) […]

The on10/Channel 9 Dev team have another dev focused video up

Posted on August 16th

I even got to be the 'preview' image! Check this out to hear a bit more about our design and implementation of on10.net, and for some more info on our plans around on10.net going forward and for moving Channel 9 on to […]

Windows Live Writer

Posted on August 16th

on10.net has a good interview up about the new blogging tool from the Windows Live team. What's cool about this app? For a developer, there is tons to be excited about, including a very easy to use SDK (wrote some plug-in code last night, super easy) and it ships with a bunch of .NET assemblies […]

Pez Dispenser as a Hot Shoe attachment

Posted on August 14th

Ok, so I am so going to do this for taking pictures of my kids... but wait... I could probably do this on top of the video camera for Channel 9 shoots too! Now if I can only get my son's collection of Star Wars Pez Dispensers away from him and put them under the knife. […]

Pimp my Xbox 360

Posted on August 14th

I've been stoked for some time by the completely black case replacement for the 360, but now I've found out that I can potentially switch my controllers (even the wireless ones) to custom colors as well... very very sweet. […]

Feeling like it is time to get rid of the flab...

Posted on August 4th

Last year I managed to go from 205-ish down to around 175 … just by following the South Beach Diet and working out more consistently (shooting for 5 days a week, generally hit 4 at least)… but then I switched jobs to work on a new project (http://on10.net, a site that has featured Chris a few times) […]

Glamour shots of dolls

Microsoft Gamefest

Posted on August 3rd

Met with Dave Mitchell from the Xbox team today to talk about Microsoft Gamefest. If you are going, drop me a line... I'll be there with a camera along with one or two other folks from on10.net. […]

A site about taking photos of kids...

Atari CEO: No PS3 games before 2007 - Joystiq

Posted on August 2nd

I was surprised early to hear that God of War II was a PS2 game... and now this? I think it just the price that is scaring developers... scary to develop for a console that seems out of the price range of your target audience. I say "seems" because despite my own (biased) negative thoughts about the […]

Painting the Bathroom tub

I just couldn't resist posting this picture...
